How Musashi joined the Tourney

Joe Musashi in his youth was enrolled in the Oboro School of ninjitsu at an early age. Like many great ninja, he started out as the weakest of the bunch, but as he grew, he became the best in the class. Eventually, by the time he was in his twenties, Joe would become a superlative Ninja. On some occasions, he would meet with his fiance Naoko, the daughter of his master. Soon Musashi would work for the Japanese government, helping to bring down the Zeed Syndicate, earning the nickname "Super Shinobi".

While training a new generation of ninja for the Oboro School, he found a young taekwondo man named Kim Jae Hoon who was seeking to test his skills on the ninja.
